This work, undertaken aa a orancn

eut foe frlsndleae girls, especially those
from the country, to help them to ee-

them with friendly advice and mere
substantial help when necessary. It

willingly and gladly done.
During ths paat year over 2.100 girls
havs beea helped by this organisation.
This does not include the number who

their wages are better conserved; but It
